Recipe - Easy Chili

3 tablespoon Oil
5 pound Ground beef
1 lg Onion; minced
1 tablespoon Finely chopped garlic
1 cn (28 oz's) whole tomatoes
3 cup Barbecue sauce
3 tablespoon Chili powder
1 tablespoon Salt
1 tablespoon Hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon Cumin
4 cn (15One half oz. each) kidney
beans

This is a really good easy chili. I got it out of, THE MR FOOD COOKBOOK

In a large, heavy skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil. Add the meat, onion,
and garlic, and cook, stirring , over mediumhigh heat until meat is
browned. Add the tomatoes, barbecue sauce, chili powder, salt, hot pepper
sauce, cumin, and kidney beans; stir to mix well. Cover and simmer for an
hour, stirring occasionally. Serve with warm tortilla chips and a side dish
of jalopeno peppers, if desired.

NOTE: You can add One half cup of instant potatoes for the last 10 minutes of
cooking to thicken this, if you like. Chili tastes best made a day ahead
and reheated.

I sometime used pinto beans or chili beans instead of kidney beans. I also
use a mild barbecue sauce and don't use that much hot pepper sauce. If you
use real lean beef, you can omit the oil or just use a little bit. You can
also use cube beef and add fresh peppers if you like.

I think you will like it. It is also good on rice and just with crackers.
With the fall weather almost upon us, doesn't chili sound good?
